The book "The Catcher in the Rye" from 1951 Her protagonist, 16-year-old Holden Calfield, has become a model for adolescent engagement, constantly expressing his disgust to the world and referring to everyone and everything he opposes "false". He feels that he can still connect with certain individuals because he is getting older, especially younger children, but that it grows away from the rest of the world. Asked what he wants to do with his life, Holden pictures is a fantasy that stands in the field of rye, located on top of the rock. While the children play in the rye, his job is to catch them before falling out of ruin. He is the catcher in the rye.

Salinger's book has been widely examined and interpreted again. It is just as it is celebrated for understanding the engagement, as it has been done for its nihilism, gender and vulgarity. It is also often censored, although many American high schools are still assigned to students. "The Catcher in the Rye" became particularly notorious in 1980 when he was found in the pocket of the man who killed Johnon Lennon. (The assassin wrote in the book that this is his "statement." Years ago, Salinger retired from the public eye, becoming a glorious attraction and refusing to give interviews. These assassins only made him withdraw further.

However, "Paradise" remains very popular, and many directors wanted to adapt the novel to the big screen for decades since its publication. However, Salinger forbids him, no matter who approached him. Artists ranging from Jerry Louis to Jackack Nicholson all expressed interest in playing Holden Calfield, but Salinger said no. The funniest of all, Walt Disney ever thought about making an animated version of "RF" ... which has anthropomorphic dogs.

As stated, Salinger did not allow anyone to adapt his record works in his life, and it was probably because he hated "My stupid heart" in 1949, a loose adaptation of his story "Uncle Wigley in Connecticut". "The film was released when it was released. Obviously, it was so bad that he forced Salinger to give up Hollywood.

Salinger once explained why in the letter, claiming that cinema is a false medium for communicating internal monologues (something that is vital to Holden). Directly to quote the author:

"(F) or I, the weight of the book is in the voice of the narrator, the non-stop features of it, his personal, extremely discriminatory attitude towards his reader-magic, his aside for the gasoline rainbow in the street puddles, his philosophy, or a way of watching hooks.

However, the following movie figures were played with the idea of ​​adjusting "The Catcher in the Rye" at one point or another: Marlon Brando, Elia Kazan, Billy Wilder, Steven Spielberg, Harvey Weinstein, Leonardo DiCaprio, Toby Maguier and Ralph. (If you know something about the animated work of perksThen you know that he may have made an incredible adaptation to Salinger's novel.)

Finally, in 2018, Don Jan directed "Howard", Documentary about songwriter and longtime Disney Associate Howard Eshman. When Colider Interviewed Jan for the 2020 film, he discussed some of Disney's stagnant projects that included Ashman, a particular sequel called "Mary Popins Returns" (written in the 1980s). Hahn also revealed that Ashman was once committed to working on a project called "Dufus", something the interviewer did not hear.

Asked about this, Han fell a bomb: "Dufus" was "" catcher in the rye "with German shepherds," the director explained, laughing as he did. "I don't do it," he added.

Here's how the story goes:

As early as 1986, Michael Eizner, then, the newly opened Disney CEO, really wanted to turn "The Catcher in the Rye" into a film because he was a huge fan of Salinger's original novel. At the same time, Izner knew he would never be able to buy film rights from the glorious wrestling author. As such, he felt he could avoid any copyright problems by simply changing Only Enough. The film in question should have been called "Dufus".

There is scarce evidence for this project, but it is real. Azner even asked his friend and studio president, Effeefrey Katenberg to write to Ashman to see if he would be interested in collaborating with several films, including the mentioned sequel to Mary Poppins, "The Little Mermaid" (on which he finished working) and "Dufus". That letter is proof that Disney's tallest troubles (Mikiti-Muszi?) Had fully intended to move forward on the project. Jan clarified the question during an interview with Colider, explaining:

"Michael loved" Catcher in the Rye "and he said," We have to make "a catcher in the rye." And we have told him the truth, which will never make a "hunt for the rye" for anyone. So it was. "

Of course, "The Catcher in the Rye" will enter the public domain in 2031, at that moment it is likely that someone will take a cinema. This is said, anyone who reads "Catcher in the Rye" will be able to tell you that the adaptation of it into a film kind goes against the book's message.

Maybe ... Maybe ... The directors will stay out of respect.
